India has been subsidizing the prices of diesel, cooking gas and kerosene which has put a severe strain on public finances. Diesel, LPG and kerosene prices were last hiked in June2011. Sharp rise in crude oil prices with no corresponding policy action has substantially raised the under-recovery on sales of these products. Losses on these products stood at INR17.1/litre on Diesel, INR347/cylinder on LPG and INR32.7/litre on Kerosene before the price hike. The OMCs have already reported INR478bn of under-recoveries in 1Q FY 2013, which is the highest quarterly loss reported ever. Depreciation in the rupee since the beginning of FY 2013 has just exacerbated the problem. FY 2013 under-recoveries earlier estimated to be around Rs. 1,850 billion is now expected to come down 1,650 billion following the hike but still up 19 per cent YoY and its highest ever.
